Free Trial, what's the catch

If this has been posted before please steer me towards the post.
LS and Fusion360 said that their software is free for the hobbyist, every time I down load it it is only good for a month then quits, I can’t believe every one is re-down loading this and reinstalling every month, what is it that I’m doing wrong.
I struggle with Fusion360 but I have access to SolidWorks and Cadkey that I’ve used at work for 28 yrs. between the both so getting a DXF is no problem then I’m running it thru Fusion360’s cam for the Gcode or for simple parts just hand writing the Gcode.
I’m semi-retired so I won’t have access to the software I do now.

watch the video on the site here that explains setting up the software it explains getting your hobby license pretty well

Thank you for directing me there, the sites I’d gone to didn’t have the three choices.
